There is no reason things are this way…

Yesterday there was an accident in which a 26 years old Egyptian mother was mowed down by a truck driver when he mounted the sidewalk and crashed the roads barricades.

I couldn’t help but wonder what is the out come of such tragic event? What is the plan of the “higher powers” for the world to make good by her death? What did she do to lose her life for a drunken driver?

Although I am currently pleased with my state of faith, I just couldn’t help the thoughts rushing through my head as another innocent soul sets in the west never to be seen again…

In one sitcom I was watching the other day, an atheist doctor was asking a religious nurse “if god does exist and he is so righteous, then why all the bad things in the world are happening”. She replied that everything happens for a
reason; and when he was determined to prove her wrong she told him that she has been working in this hospital for almost ten years, seeing young people die and other good people suffer and that she “Needs her faith” to keep her sanity…

Before they conclude their conversation a small girl is rushed into the ER with a stab wound, the atheist doctor looks up to the nurse in bitterness, she stutters and looks down.

Only after and for the bewilderment of the doctor, they discover that the girl had a tumor and if it weren’t for the wound it would have gone beyond control.

The atheist doctor was speechless and spent the whole night rethinking his atheism… he goes to the hospital the next day searching for the nurse only to know that she was involved in a car accident and she went into a comma after which she died….

He stares at her laid in her bed and says “why don’t you tell me the reason for this now!!!”

It is my belief that any given life is made up of too elements; choices and destiny and the latter being the “voluntary” choices of others.

My belief stands… but something inside me retires…

DANCING while WALKING on the RUNNING machine…

I was cycling at the Gym today and next to me there was this lady who was walking on the running machine, she was young and, strangely enough, just walking very slowly on the machine…

There are reasons why they call those“Running Machines”… YOU RUN ON THEM!!!

Anyways… all of a sudden she started dancing while walking… I thought she was listening to music but I can see clearly that she had no headphones on her… I was amazed by her confident and artistic moves, she reminded me of that night I went out with friends and there was this dance floor on which patrons were dancing and a couple went up there and they started swinging… I am not an expert but I think it was some kind of a Latino dance …They were luring, touching, gazing at each other… they were moving violently and then slowly… jumping, cling closely and then parting… I remember smiling and feeling that right at that moment there could be nothing wrong with the world… it was probably the most amazing dance I’ll ever see…

What can i say...!!!

"There is nothing like a physical art that is performed by the soul..."

In the parking lot of life…

My building has a large parking lot to the south side. When up there; I see people pulling in and others pulling out… It occurred to me that life is of a great resemblance to parking lots… each of us has his own space with his own vehicle - fancy or not – carefully parked in his designated area… sometimes you have the luxury of choosing your ride and sometimes the ride just chooses you and if you are lucky enough you get to choose who rides beside you but sometimes – for arrangements of conveniences – you compromise just for the fear of riding alone all the way.

Every load you put in your vehicle will affect its performance, and your vehicle’s durability depends on how you treat it. The only difference between your life and your ride is that you can change your ride at your convenience but you can’t do that with your life.

You can pimp, paint or enhance your life, but you can never change it. Every little scratch you endure, you will have to face the consequence one day.

You can hide it or just ignore it, but you can never make it go away.
